According to AFL.com.au we're the second youngest team but have the 4th most 100 gamers and 7th most finals experience. Yeah, we're just about to fall off a cliff into a five year rebuild...
Our list is fine.
More than enough picks and young players to do some damage to be excited about.
Unfortunately we are stuck with a poor coach, so I doubt anything exciting will happen until he is replaced.
blah blah blah, four finals series in 7 years suggests he can't be that poor...
Yet not a single top 4 finish to give us a proper run at a flag (although that might change now with the introduction of the pre-finals bye and teh Dogs this season). His problem isn't coaching in finals or big games, it's setting a team up to be consistent throughout the home and away system so we can place ourselves in the best position to win a flag. In this respect, he has been an unmitigated failure.blah blah blah, four finals series in 7 years suggests he can't be that poor...
Our current list is nowhere near good enough to win a flag without either plummeting or buying the legit A graders that are available next year.
Completely agree. I'm very excited about the next 2-3 years. Not because I think we're in flag contention (although the same could have been said about the Bulldogs 2 years ago) but because for the first time in forever the Club will be putting it's faith in youth. Unbelievable to read that in the latest AFL stats listed on the AFL website, North now have 16 players yet to debut, more than any other club with Adelaide and Geelong next with 14 players yet to debut.Agree with this.
However, I do not believe we are in a cliff or Carlton/Brisbane/Melbourne/Collingwood/Richmond situation.
We have already made an effort to invest heavily in the draft. A drop down the ladder may be temporary and give us the currency to snag some A graders.
Thanks Brad.
So playing finals is important to you?
I'd rather be last with picks that the s**t we've served up. Fluking finals doesn't change the fact we were way off Flag quality.
Some of us want more than that. You know, number 5?
